Are those enthusiasts who profess to follow reason? Yes,
undoubtedly, if by reason they mean only conceits. Therefore

rational inquirers.--WATERLAND.
PREFACE.
There were no prefatory remarks to the first and second editions of the
following work. It was thought, when the printer made his final call for

should indicate sufficient interest in the book to make its improvement
and enlargement necessary. That interest, owing to the theme rather than
the treatment, has not been withheld.
